The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sam Baker finished 2,389th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:43:22.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:00. A harder second half: 8:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Madrid 2025 were 3:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
